Nice hotel but too close to the train

We did not stay even though the room was paid for. The property was supposed to be renovated but it was not.

older than the pictures show

Posted Feb 23, 2015

Cons: The facility needs updating.

The hotel was much older that the pictures showed. The train passes by and you can here it every few hours.

Met Expectations.

Posted Jan 19, 2015

Pros: clean room. comfortable bed.

Cons: I prefer better breakfasts. At least a waffle maker...

We changed a day trip to an over-nighter trip so we needed a room. We booked it the same day via the mobile website. The room was clean. The staff was nice enough, although not overly. The bed was comfortable, plenty of pillows. It is close to the train tracks, so if you are sensitive, you may want to find another hotel. It didn't bother me or my son though. The heater fan was pretty loud (it masked the train). Being from Phoenix, we kept the room in the low 70s and the fan was on quite a bit. The continental breakfast is cereal, small muffins, and coffee. It was easy to get into, and out of, the parking lot. Next time, I'd probably plan a bit better and find a better rate, or nice hotel. However, for a last minute booking on a 3-day holiday weekend, we had a good price and a clean hotel. No regrets. Like almost every other hotel I've ever stayed, the wifi couldn't support a Facetime video chat.

Just fine for the price

Posted Jan 14, 2015

Very close to food and a bar. On a Very noisy road. Wouldn't recommend for light sleepers but for us it was fine for a quick, cheap say.

Not what I expected!

Posted Jan 6, 2015

My room did not have a bathtub to give my kids a bath. Also the room was not sealed so the cold air was coming in thru the door all night even with the heater on we were still cold since it snowed all night!! The fridge did not keep our food and baby milk cold at all so we had to throw everything out in the morning!! Plus check in time is way too late in the day. We didn't even stay 24hrs in the room but I had to pay like I did!! Over all not a kid friendly place!!

Hello, I can not put in exact words how I would like to apologize for the uncomfortable experience during your stay in our hotel more so that your concerns on spending cold night with us was not attended by our staff on duty. It is just unfortunate that we are unable to trace your booking so we can specifically address your shared experience. Nonetheless, I still hope that in the future, we could have the opportunity to make up for our shortcoming and serve you and your family better.

Not nice at all

Posted Jan 6, 2015

Pros: Restaurant attached was excellebt

Cons: . Staff at front desk on a personal call while I waited 5 minutes. The room was dirty. I sneezed all night as someone had smoked in the room.

Location: Just stayed overnight. Travelling through

Noisy dirty smelly room. Fighting all night in the room above someone had smoked in a non smoking hotel. Needs major upgrades
